I had a good one today.
Long story short, guy didn't sign up for the fiber overbuild to bring fiber to his home so he has to pay a fee for us to plow it to the house.
He's a dick and I've dealt with him multiple times over the phone.
We line out the route so the customer can change it, and can mark their private utilities (water, propane, etc). This customer approved the route. I went on this job just to make sure all i's were dotted and t's crossed.
Job gets done. We cut multiple unmarked irrigation lines, customer is fully aware it's his responsibility to fix.
I get a frantic call from Customer service after 5 about how we ruined this guys yard. His son called in screaming.
I call him, calmly listen to his 5 min rant.
When I tell him I was on the job all day with my crew and his dad, the landowner approved the route he shut up, apologized and said he'd take care of all repairs.
Some fucking entitled people

Duc we are waiting
1. Lady running a brothel out of her house and the shit that followed her around (Janet - Temp worker, Tiffany - Temp worker) Cant remember real names
So this a multiple part fuck up. All this was figured out after we had to call the cops on Janet's son hanging out in the parking lot. Janet didnt have a working car due to some issues so she begged Tiffany to rent her a car for a week since she didnt have a valid driver license. Not sure why by Tiffany rented the car and thought everything was ok. After the weekend, Tiffany is freaking out since she is unsure what is going to happen to the rental car after it was totaled over the weekend. Not totaled by a crash but Janet loan the car to her drug dealing son over the weekend who happen to get into a shoot out. Yep car was shot to shit. The next night, Janet's son was waiting for hours in the parking lot which freaked Tiffany out and others since the workers were unsure why he was there. Nobody knew about the car yet but on shift manager had the cops escort him off the property.
The next week when this came to light, we had to fire Janet since she was pure trash. Once fire we found out she was trying to recruit girls in the plant for sex work out of her house. When she joined out work force we did notice she had a tramp stamp of two eyes. Weird but not out of line for temp workers till we heard she had them so she could always be watching you when she was being fucked for money.
2. Why we had to keep a operator on second shift
I actually loved this operator. He had a good heart and just made minor mistakes in life. He knocked his girlfriend in college when she mentioned she was ovulating which he thought meant she was horny. He now knows what that means. But the shit that came out of his mouth was funny as shit but not safe for HR or anyone in the front office. He want to fucked a white girl hard so he could think about reparations the whole time. Even did the motions while saying it. All of us about died laughing out asses off. He went from not knowing how to use a cnc mill to being a trusted operator. I hope he is doing well and not died since he was a wide as he was tall.
3. Point system creation at work due to two workers
Had two coworkers that for the life of them couldnt be on time for work. Not talking 30 mins later but hours each day. Got to the point we were paying people to be there on the weekend for a product run but the one showed up 4 hours late. The whole team was pissed since they had personal stuff they wanted to do after the product run. They got dam good overtime that day because of him. Due to this two idiots, management made a point system for all the workers since they wouldnt fire either one. Whats better than punishing everyone instead of the two alone. One day the two idiots were bitching about the point system till I told them to shut the fuck up. Mentioned they caused the problem and had nobody but themselves to blame. One tried to smart off that I didnt show up at the required work time. Right then one of the other workers speak up and says actually he arrives 30 minutes before start time. That shut them up.
Over the summer, management had to reset the point system 3 times before they wouldnt fire the one idiot. Once the owner sold the business, he was gone the next day.
Break time before the next stories.

When I first started in the film biz, the studio was run by Brits. Each job I was assigned had to have the material approved by my supervisor. I had to submit scaled drawings of plywood showing the part yield of each sheet as well as a written cut list with order of operations. Once approved, I could start whatever project I was given. This was in 1984! I still do it like this but now I just do a quick sketch.Damn, that shit happened all the time where I worked. Nobody could (or was willing) to do some math and look ahead at their work do drops piled up. I worked a bunch of departments and I always ended up cleaning up literal tons of drops. Once those were done, I would sit down with a pencil and work out how I could minimize waste by combining cuts/operations in order to end up with a small drop that could be scrapped. The retards would always cut shit that was impossible to use if an order dropped that required long material, AND they wouldn’t scrap it out so it still showed in inventory. Did I get a thank you? No, but sometimes I’d get an ass-chewing for wasting time reclaiming the drops or figuring out how to eliminate them, all while getting higher production numbers than the regular operatorsThen they ask “why are you leaving?” Idiots.
4. Cant find the waterjet operator
We had a waterjet operator that had worked at the place for a few years with ok feedback about his work ethic from before I joined. His only job was to run the waterjet to cut out large composite panels since it filled his "work day". Yes in quotes and you will see why. Not sure why but at times I notice patterns in process problems or sometimes its in workers behaviors. My day normally involved me running around the facility all day due to putting out shit show fires. Not sure why this guy ended up my radar but usually he was always missing from the waterjet when I ran by it. Mind you I ran by probably 20 times a day if not more but I rarely saw him.
Things I started to notice
1. Never at the waterjet right after the morning meeting. Turns out he would go to his car to change shoes for 15 mins.
2. Rarely there thru the day
3. Didnt eat lunch with the other workers in the break room.
After a week of wondering I started to piece together what was happening. He would be in the bathroom in the highbay for 45 mins before each break time. He would never miss a break even after shitting/playing on phone for 45 mins. So there is 2 hours a day. But it gets better. He would also leave for 2-3 hour lunches every day and not clock out. Work was generous about lunch times provided hourly people clocked out if they were leaving site. After being warned he continued with the behavior. In the end he was fired but he argued another worker Dan had been going on 2 hour lunches. This was true but was fixed 3 years prior with a write up and was never a problem after that. Guy had easiest job around but couldnt let the past go about Dan. He begged for his job back a few times but we had filled the position. He was paid dam well too.
5. Operator needs a door barricade
Not sure why but I had a assembly line worker that couldnt take a shit in peace at home. his wife would always come into the bathroom to talk to him even if he locked the door. She would just use a pin to unlock the bathroom door. All he wanted to do was read a comic or take a shit alone. He ended up divorcing her ass over it.
6. Christmas party hell
So this was caused by a operator that I helped moved up at one of the companies but followed me to future jobs since we worked well together. Started at a operator level --> Shift lead --> production lead ---> Group Lead ---> Finally production manager. this all happen when I recommended him for production manager at the small business. The small business had a issue of going thru production managers because of the shitty owner but I was tired of being a "temp" production manager and process engineer at the small business so I recommended for him to get the job. I knew he had the balls to stand up to the owner and get shit done based on prior jobs. Over the 6 months he was able to fix alot of issues we had with hourly workers and helped put shit on track. Felt amazing to have a partner to get shit fixed. Now on to the fun of the story. Company decided to have a Christmas party at a high end restaurant in town for some of the salary folks. Each plate was $60+ each and drinks included. Night start out innocent but started to turn when he ordered a new bottle of makers mark for his table. Quickly the bottle was disappearing but turns out it was mostly him drinking it. At the end of the night we get up to leave and he face plants on to the floor. In the process I notice a unique sound that I know. Yep he was conceal carrying a pistol. Minor problem
Getting him off the floor and taking his gun we asked the waiter were the elevator is located. there is none in the old building. Fuck we are on second level and he is 6'3" and about 260 at least. takes two of us to get him down the stairs and I get to take him home. No problem but I know he just moved. On the way to his house I asked for his driver license since speech and thought were out the window for him. He was so far gone he couldnt tell me where he lived. Turns out he didnt have a new one yet so he had to crash on my couch till 8am. We had a somewhat of a laugh over it but it also turns out he had pregamed hard before the dinner. Yep he was back to drinking and driving. He left the company a month or two later to move back to NC to be around his family. But to add to the fun he broke it off with his mistress to move with his family to NC. She was pissed so she called his wife and told her everything. They were fucking like bunny rabbit even at the prior work place. And I mean at work.
Background info: I knew the guy used to have a problem with drinking in his early 20s. Like 3 DUI's in a span of 3 years but had cleaned up his life for the 7 years I think.

New coworkers dont always believe my stories. Anyone that has ever worked in a factory has the same type of stories just different. Sceep probably realizes now how sheltered people are at his new job. Over time it goes from funny to annoying to tired of this shit when you are living the fuck up stuff.
I really hate the general population and realize how its a miracle they function in life after seeing the stuff I did.

We have a wire machine guy (younger - mid 20's) working evening/night/2nd shift think it was okay to set up a gaming station in the wire machine room. He could not understand why it was not okay to just set up a job to run, and sit there and game all night. He still works for us, as does his boss (day shift) who only ever runs one job at a time despite having 4 machines.... and we wonder why things can not get done/ cost so much. It is infuriating to anyone with more than 3 brain cells. Set the machines up, and let them run over night, we do not need a second shift, once they are set they run, no need to baby sit them. Unreal.
7. HR trying to bang the engineer - to worn out to type this out fully. Old hr lady put her chest against the window to the engineering office and lick the window to tease my buddy. Very disturbing for us both but they didnt fire her. Easier to wait till the plant closed in a few months then deal with her suing. Afterwards we would just piss her off to the point she would cry on the curb outside or bitch to the plant manager. He tolds us one day to knock it off or else since he was tired of listening to her shit for hours.

10. Over qualified line worker. Know your facts before you lie.
Had a line worker that used to tell me he had a patent that he made a bunch of money off of but he liked the low stress of being a assembly worker. Also told me he had a bachelors in mechanical engineering but was working to a get a masters degree but he still needed to take calc 2 to get it. Everyone else was eating this shit up but anyone that went thru any type of engineering degree knew he was lying out his ass. To even recieve a BA in engineering required Calc 1 thru 3 plus to additional high level maths at any accredited school. I played with him some to pull more info about where he got it and such. Little known fact about degrees. You can call up any college and ask if a person has graduated with a certain degree from there. they cant tell you a GPA or private info but they can say if the person got the degree. When we closed down the plant, the plant manager helped him get a new job but in the end he had to turn it down and admit he was lying. The plant manager had a good guess but was trying to be a awesome guy by helping people find new jobs.
11. Magical resume - technical interviews go two ways in my experience: Really good or complete dumpster fires.
Buddy and I had to interview a person for a technical role at a small company. We were looking for a technical operator and not a engineer for the role which happens to match his experience.
Items on resume
1. Knew how to operator and program a cnc plasma table - check
2. Precision measurements
3. Welder
4. something else that I forget
Perfect, we knew we could train this guy to run a few 100watt to 3500 watt CO2 laser cutters in a short time and maybe help weld up fixtures. Shit we were even thinking of training him to run a cnc mill some. Had high hopes based off resume. Now this guy didnt realize the ambush he was walking at first.
Little background:
-I have experience in building/owning a cnc plasma table, machining, QC, welding and running waterjet, laser and other industrial machines plus my mechanical engineering experience.
-My buddy is a dam good welder in mig, tig, operates a machining business on the side, and has been running/maintaining the laser and waterjet at the business for 15 years before I got there. And being the other engineer for this company even without a degree. He knew his shit.
The interview starts off with him explaining his experience and more about himself and goals. Nothing seemed out of place at first. Being that I had some experience in cnc plasma world, I decided to ask him what brand or model of plasma cutting system they were using. Was it regular plasma or HD plasma. he was unsure so I asked for any info about who the plasma was made by or the programming software used. We finally drag it out of him that he would only watch it operate if he had nothing going on in the welding area. Ok so some fibbing on resume. See it all the time. We move onto the welding experience.
He had no clue the brand of the welder. Ok this is going down hill quick. We pull it out of him that he only spot welds enclosure before they are sent to robotic welding. He doesnt set the feeds or speeds but just pulls the trigger to make it stick. No experience at all. We are basically done with this idiot but decide to fuck with him the rest of the interview for wasting our time. We both had to know what he considered precision measurements since everything else is a far stretch. We start asking about tool usage such as calipers, mics and etc. Takes a bit of time but we find out he measures with a tape measure to a 1/16.
Mother fucker lied about all his skills
1. CNC plasma table - fuck, people who watch youtube know more about it
2. Precision measurement - not even sure he could use a tape measurement. Was tempted to ask him to measure something to verify this
3. Click - spark - bubble gum.
He did not get the job.
Mind you Ive interview people that I know werent qualified for the help I needed but Aerotek setup a interview for them anyways. I had a young kid that made it to a interview and I knew he was too green for the job but I decided to sit down with him anyways to provide some guidance. He had drive and didnt lie. Gave him tons of suggestions and he left happy that I took the time to help him design a path to his career goal.

Guy set a site record of 38 out of 40 hours a porn in a week as a subcontractor on a military base. This was his third offense with his company but they wouldnt fire him so the prime as the military to pull his base access. Told the sub that they could continue to pay him but he wasnt coming back on site and so they werent paying for him. Also had just got married. Fucker used to preach god to every week but holy shit he looked at strange porn..

A “Thank you” seems to be considered sufficient compensation for taking care of business. Yet they wonder why when good people just quit giving a fuck…

Resident "Preacher Man"
Completely reminds me of a guy I knew when working for the State of Arizona. He actually managed to get fired from the state (which was almost impossible for a state employee to be fired). I was a contractor with the state for about 2 years and there was a drastic difference between what was expected from contractors vs full time employees.
The administrative clerk type lady that administered all of the contractor's contracts thought that somehow, she was their boss too (she wasn't, I "reported" to someone else). I came in one day and realized that I had left my lunch down in my car so I went back down from the 10th floor to go get it (this is summertime in Phoenix, it wouldn't wait until lunchtime to go get it). Elevators weren't the quickest to begin with and only 2 out of 4 of them were working, so it took about 15 minutes or so round trip.
When I got back there was a note to come see her; she then proceeded to try to chew me out for being late, so, I got to have a conversation with her about the difference between being a W2 employee and being a 1099 from a federal tax law perspective (e.g., she/the state isn't allowed to determine my hours). Basically, I blew her off since she had no power over me anyway; she could recommend to my real boss that he let me go, but he would have laughed her out of his office since I was one of 2 contractors on his team and between the 2 of us, we produced at least 75% of the work.
After that, I dropped my hours from 45-50 per week (even though I was only "on the clock" for 40, as they refused to pay overtime) to exactly 40 each week. She wanted to be a stickler about being "on the clock" since I was an hourly contractor, then she got exactly 40 and not a second more. Meanwhile, the full-time employees were on salary and were only expected to "produce" about 25% to 50% of what a contractor was expected to produce. After being around the state's full-time employees for a few months, I realized this was a place software engineers went to semi-retire and still collect a paycheck. Most of them showed up around an hour after the contractors did and left about an hour earlier (bear in mind contractors were expected to be there for 40 hours each week). And 1 1/2 to 2 hour lunches for FTE's were common; a fellow contractor and I estimated that the average state employee worked 30-35 hours a week. They simply just didn't care since it was pretty much impossible for them to actually get fired.
Except our guy in this story that did get fired; you could almost never find him at his desk, and he "produced" just enough to keep his job. Years later, after I left the state, I heard from another contractor that after I left that he had been fired. I was shocked that the state finally fired someone, but it wasn't because he was never around and produced the minimum amount of work. It was the reason WHY he wasn't around much. It turns out, he signed up with Uber and was leaving his desk in the middle of the day to drive people around for extra cash, all while "on the clock" working for the state.

My experience with Aerotek is that they don't screen anyone. They just pass anyone and everyone along for you to screen.
Years ago at one of the offices I did IT in as well as my "normal" duties one of the partners - good upstanding Christian family man - was having computer issues. Everything just seemed slow to him. So I start looking at things and things don't quite add up. His hard drive is nearly full but the files and folders aren't adding up to nearly that kind of space. Projects were all on the main server, so there really wasn't any reason his local drive should have a bunch of shit on it. Did some digging and found a hidden partition - full of all sorts of really questionable porn... The main issue was that I couldn't get the bosses to go for a decent amount of memory for AutoCAD, so the computers were using swap space on the hard drive - except his hard drive was nearly full...

Hit a truck stop early because of traffic and an open scale house out here W of Knoxville, Tn.
I didn't like where I parked initially because of the way I was positioned on a hill. So I turned around to face the opposite way and had been sitting for about 5 minutes when I saw a truck with a four axle RGN and a big ass John Deere piece of equipment on it backing up. I assumed because he was so big he was backing out so he could leave because he couldn't make the right turn going forward.
Next thing I know, the trailer is swinging hard left as the truck is backing up into some empty spots behind it. As it jackknifes around it comes to a stop and just sits there. I'm thinking to myself "what the fuck is that guy doing?" as the truck is still sitting there, I start thinking something isn't right. So I walk over to the truck and that's when I realized its not even running and there's no one in it. I knock to make sure hoping that there isn't a dead driver inside. Nothing.
It then hits me, this mf'er didn't set his brakes! On what I was guessing to be 110k lbs load. Flag down an old guy who's the lot attendant and show him whats up. He gets a mechanic from the shop for some reason. They stare at it for a few min then head to the main store/restaurant. I follow them in and they find the owner just finishing up dinner. I explain whats up and him and I walk out to his truck. Dude is speechless. He opens the door and 1st thing I look at is the air knobs. They're popped meanig the brakes were set 
. Come to find out he was grossing 139k. 8 axles of brakes wasn't enough to hold it on a slight hill.
Told the guy to go buy a lottery ticket. Cause he was the luckiest SOB around here...

Neat, so the spring brakes are indeed quite a bit less powerful than the service brakes.

Fuckin eh.
Plenty of brakes to hold that kind of weight, they just need to be adjusted properly.
$20 says the brakes haven't been touched since it's last CVI.

When he fired it up, I said "dont release the brakes and try to take off. He let out the clutch and gave it some fuel and it almost stalled the truck and wouldn't move. I then watched all the S cams on the trailer axles move back and forth as he released and set the brakes.
He said he's gonna go deliver in Virginia and then put it in the wind back to Mo before the CVSA brake inspection week starts

not sure about semi brakes but my drum parking brake doesnt work as good holding the vehicle from rolling backwards, works much better at stopping it from rolling forward

Still more than enough to hold it. I only have 5 axles of parking brake with my breaker on and it will hold on a steeper grade than that. That thing weighs 160,000 before the tractor.
